Answer 1

Given:

The number of potential customers =40.

The data from the given chart is

40,32,8,20

`\text{Average}=\frac{The\text{ sum of the data}}{\text{The number of customers}}`

`\text{Average}=(40+32+8+20)/(40)`

`\text{Average}=(100)/(40)`
`\text{Average =2.5}`

Hence the average number of locations chosen per potential customer is 2.5.
